Texas A&M Football
Aggie Flashback with former linebacker Lee Foliaki
Key quotes from Lee Foliaki interview
"Going through the recruiting role twice, having Semisi played a big role. Playing in Kansas, I was kind of homesick and we used to talk every day. I told him I didn’t want to play for any other team in the Big 12 but A&M. That is where my heart was.
"When I first got to Butler, it was a bit of a culture shock. I’m a city kid and it was nothing but land and cornfields. When I started to play and get in a rhythm, I felt like I could get recruited home."
"Semisi and I already knew I was going to A&M but we didn’t tell anyone. Until they brought Semsi in for the in home visit I was telling Coach Fran that I’d be taking all my visits. But I knew where I was going."
"The strip against Colorado was the first game my parents came to. I was gone and then we had maybe five games, but this was their first one. Coach had called a stunt; it was Justin Warren and I. I got knocked back and instead of going through the hole, I just chased the ball. I think Byron Jones had tried to cut his legs so he jumped, I was just trying to make a tackle and the ball came out. I ended up falling right on it."
"Down here people are only A&M fans because of our guys playing for them. But after Polo died and Sumlin brought the players down for the funeral, they won over a lot of people."
